“That’s not right! Why are there only two babies here? Where’s my other child?”
Pei Ge quickly realized that she was short of one child!
Looking at the two babies sleeping peacefully, she quickly found that one of her three children was missing.
She looked around and knitted her brows together when she did not see the other child.
An ominous feeling rose in her heart.
“Where’s my child? Why am I short of one?”
It just happened that only she had given birth—not to mention prematurely—in this hospital yesterday.
Thus, there was only her babies in the room, so the abnormality was very stark to her.
This was also why Egger could not come up with a lie at once.
He was originally that her body would be hurt from the grief when she knew that she had lost a baby, so he intended to get the hospital to find a newborn baby to pa.s.s off as her baby.
Little did he expect that the hospital would not have any other newborn babies, not to mention pregnant Asian women.
The only pregnant woman of Asian-descent in the hospital was not due to give birth yet, so her child was still unborn.
Thus, there was nothing he could do regardless of his abilities.
Besides, she woke up early…
If she had woken up a little later and had been less anxious about seeing her children, he would have found a replacement.
However…
“Where’s my child?! Tell me, Egger! Where is my child?!”
Seeing the man remain silent and the look of pity on the nurse’s face, something broke in her.
There was an unprecedented ominous feeling in her heart.
“Tell me: Where’s my child?! Why are there only two children here…”
She had a vague idea in her heart, but she dared not look into this devastating thought.
The man felt terrible at how agitated she was.
He really wanted to protect this woman, but he realized that he was constantly failing…
He could not even protect her children properly.
“Pei Ge…”
Bitterly, he opened his mouth slightly as he regarded her pale face but did not know what to say.
“Speak!”
Seeing that the man had gone silent again, she raised her hand and gripped his collar.
“He’s…”
He found that he could not utter the word to her face, knowing how much impact that word would have on her.
“Speak!”
Even though she did not hear the word from him, she had a vague idea, but she did not want to believe it, and her heart was hoping for a chance.
Even though she wanted to ignore the horrifying answer, one could tell from her trembling palms that she believed it…
Taking a deep breath, he reached out and hugged the fragile woman in his arms.
He closed his eyes and muttered, “Pei Ge, things will be better in the future. We still have two babies. Everything will get better.”
His words caused the woman’s emotions to burst.
“What are you saying?! What do you mean?! What do you mean that I still have two babies?!”
She used all her strength to try and break free from his arms. Her actions were crazed and her expression was distorted.
However, no matter how hard she struggled, she still could not break free from him.
“Calm down; calm down! Let’s not think too much, okay? You still have your two children… You’re still young, you’ll have more in the future…”
This man, who had never comforted anyone before, was clueless on how to comfort her yet still did his best to do so.
Even though his words were clumsy, his voice was full of sincerity and deep emotions.
“Let go of me! My baby… Let go of me… I wanna find my baby! My baby can’t possibly… can’t…”
She choked on her emotions, unable to continue in the end.
She could not utter the word no matter what.
“It can’t be… You all must be lying to me! Return my child to me! Return him to me!”
She clenched her palms and hit the man.
Even though these fists had no strength and did not hurt at all, Egger felt as if they were knives stabbing his chest.
It was rather painful to bear.
“…Calm down. You’ll still have more children in the future. Don’t be like this. It’s not good for your body…”
Looking at how hysterical she was being, he wrapped his arms tightly around her consolingly.
“Let go of me… My baby… baby…”
Tears seeped out of her eyes like water spilling out of a dam.
They rolled down her face and landed on the man.
Her burning tears felt like the fire burning his heart.
“Return my child to me…”
Seeing how devastated the woman looked, he knew that he could not let this continue.
Something would happen to Pei Ge if this continued.
Besides, how could a woman who had just given birth cry like this…
“Don’t cry. Even if you’ve lost a child, you still have two others. You’re going to ruin your body like this. Then, who’s going to take care of your two other children?”
